*W1AW/KL7 to Operate from Arctic Circle* (Jul 10, 2008) -- Just 300 
miles south of the Alaskan Arctic Ocean -- where the Arctic Circle 
crosses the Dalton Highway (66 degrees, 33 minutes north) -- W1AW/KL7 
<http://www.akhamfest.com/arcticcirclespecial.php> will be on the air 
(grid square BP56) July 26-August 10 on all bands from 160-6 meters. 
This ARRL 2008 Alaska State Convention Special Event Station plans to 
run two HF stations operating CW, SSB and digital, one satellite station 
and one station devoted to 146.52 MHz. The Alaskan summer skies are 
ablaze with gray line-enhanced propagation effects, providing six to 
eight hour spurts of activity to most of the ham radio world. W1AW/KL7 
plans to be active from 0600 UTC-1400 UTC to maximize gray line 
propagation. From Alaska, signals will take off in both directions at 
the same time: Europe to the East on one side, with Asia to the West on 
the other side. For an illustration of how Arctic gray line propagation 
works, see page 21 in the August 2008 issue of /QST/. The 2008 Alaska 
ARRL Convention <http://www.akhamfest.com/> will run from August 1-4, 
2008 in Anchorage.  -- /Information provided by Bill Balzarini, KL7BB/
